The red grape variety is a new variety between Dolcetto x Chatus (Nebbiolo di Dronero). Synonyms or breeding numbers are Dalmasso 17-25, ID 17/25 and Incrocio Dalmasso XVII/25, which was confirmed by DNA analyses carried out in 2017. The cross was made in 1936 in Conegliano (Veneto) by grower Giovanni Dalmasso (1886-1974). The same parents also produced the new varieties San Martino (1) and Valentino Nero.

This late-maturing, high-yielding vine is not particularly resistant to fungi or other vine diseases. It produces light ruby-red, fruity and spicy-tasting red wines.
